Volunteers
help us keep the doors open. Volunteer
projects at the Merced
County Food Bank
run five days a week. Hundreds of volunteers
provide thousands of hours of service
annually. Our volunteers are a reflection
of Merced County’s diverse community:
individuals ranging in age from students
to seniors, and groups that include corporations,
schools, families, congregations, alumni
associations and civic organizations.
Volunteers help with nearly every aspect
of the Food Bank’s work and provide
the equivalent of dozens of full time
employees for the Food Bank each year.

Food
DonorsThe Merced County
Food Bank establishes partnerships with
growers, canneries, packers, retailers,
wholesalers and other food banks to access
to the food we need. We encourage donations
of food that is healthy and safe to eat.
Most of our many food donation partners
are located in Merced County.
